The Footie Thread

Thought Palace deserved it.
Second half they were miles the best team.

Slot made a very defensive sub and we looked finished with no out ball.

Salah jeez how bad does he have to be to be subbed.
Kept him on for the pens

Mickey Mouse trophy anyway. Says the red half of Liverpool.

As it’s always been - it’s a pre season friendly

Think only Arteta counts it as a major trophy

Trophy is a Trophy nobody goes to lose.
Very good second half from Palace deserved winners.

 

[clubchamp98]

I'd like to see how close Allisson was from stepping past his line.

It's is difficult to trust VAR, especially when it is Tierney

I think from what they showed there he was off his line.!

But it looked like the pen taker stopped his run up, thought that was banned

 

[Tashyboy]

Or perhaps Palace lucky to be not down to 10 men?

Er let’s not go there with that again. Remember the FA cup.
Joking aside not seen any of it.
In one line what was the game like.

 

[Tashyboy]

One of the worst penalty shootouts I have ever seen

But entertaining

You never watched the women’s euros.

Hopefully all those who had a go at the women are as vocal against the useless men

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Very disappointing that tribalism couldn’t be parked for one day

Poor to disrupt the silence for two players passing

 

[HampshireHog]

Terrible, but wasn’t inevitable as soon as the anthem was booed?

Respect goes both ways

Spot on

Two vastly different situations which have been discussed at length when it comes to the Anthem

Time for the anthem to stop being played at these events

But if that’s the reason why some Palace fans felt it ok to disrupt the minutes silence it shows I guess the level of mentality

It’s not time for the anthem to stop being played just because Liverpool fans feel like they’ve been more hard done by than the rest of the country.
Agree it’s poor to disrupt the minute’s silence tho

 

[HampshireHog]

You say it was tribalism, but I am not aware of any “issue” between Palace and Liverpool that would support that.

My opinion is that the silence is observed if the anthem is observed, there are other and more respectful ways that the ongoing point can continue to be made.

Not bad! Mistakes from both sides good and bad finishing some shocking pens. Deserved winners.

Elliot’s was the worst but at least he hit the target !

Just have a minutes applause stops all that.

 

[irip]

Liverpool looked either really tired or really undercooked for me.
As soon as palace upped the tempo they controlled the game.
Got to say I think Palace have the makings of a very good side if they can keep them together and add a couple to bolster the squad.
Some really poor penalties and a couple of very good saves.
Be interesting when it all starts for real next weekend.

If it’s not tribalism then what reason would a Palace fan for disrupting a minutes silence for a player passing away ?

Just the way the modern fan is ? A bit too much drink maybe - it’s why clubs are going to minutes applauses which I believe was asked for

Liverpool fans booing the anthem has been happening for a while and it’s nothing to do with disrespecting Palace - they have their reasons

It’s a shame a minority act like they do

His was bad, but then so was Salah's. The only difference between them is that 1 will be going this transfer window, the 2nd in a years time.
1 I'd like to stay and the other can go in a years time without arguement.

They are a very good team , quick going forward but think they may end up losing their two best players before the end of the window
